Burnishing of Aluminum-Magnesium-Graphite Composites

SPECIAL ISSUE: EARLY CAREER SCHOLARS IN MATERIALS SCIENCE In situ synthesis of cold-rollable aluminum–aluminum nitride composites via arc plasma-induced accelerated volume nitridation

Our study proposes in situ synthesis of cold-rollable aluminum nitride (AlN) reinforced aluminum matrix composites with attractive thermal properties via arc plasma-induced accelerated volume nitridation (APAVN). Within three minutes of repeated APAVN using commercial nitrogen gas, volume fraction of AlN increased up to 40 vol%, which is the highest value ever reported by in situ nitridation of...

Preparation of Γ-alumina from Aluminum Aminoalkoxides

The synthesis of materials with tailored properties is one of the most active areas of material science [1, 2]. Among so many materials, γ-alumina due to the significant application in catalysis, electronic and ceramic industry has been studied extensively [3]. Various processes have been employed for the preparation of high quality alumina, including sol-gel processing from aluminum alkoxides....

Tow-Step Synthesis of Aluminum Oxynitride (AlON) via Carbothermal and Nitridation Route

The aim of this research was to study synthesize gamma aluminum oxynitride powder with cubic spinel structure. In order to carry out this process, carbothermal reduction and nitridation of α-alumina as starting powder was used. This process was carried out in two steps, that in the first step at 1550˚C, a portion of α-alumina was reacted with carbon and aluminum nitride (AlN) was formed, then i...
